There is an interesting chapter
upon Mr. R. D. Walker, of whom
the author says : ** He was with-
out doubt the greatest all-round
cricketer in the Buy Tretinoin Uk family, with the
sole exception of his brother
Edward . . . He was undoubt-
edly a genius, and as a Where Can I Buy Tretinoin Cream genius he
went about things in a way which
not only defied all rules, but often
defied description."
It was characteristic of Mr.
R. D. Walker that after he suc-
ceeded in getting into the Harrow
Eleven he did not again wear
pads or gloves when batting. At
that time Cheap Tretinoin Cream no boy had a chance of
getting his flannels unless he
wore pads and gloves, and Mr.
Walker, not wishing to be left
out, bowed to circumstances. But
there was another rule Tretinoin Gel Buy at Harrow
that once a boy was put into the
eleven he could not be turned
out, and once Mr. Walker was a
full-fledged member of the eleven
he discarded pads and gloves for
ever. He was an absolutely fear-
less player, and always asserted,
and still asserts, that it is a mis-
take to imagine that a ball from a
fast bowler hurts more than one
from a slow bowler. Mr. Walker
was the last man who played Purchase Tretinoin Cream five
years for his University, and it
was after the match in which he
made his fifth appearance that a
meeting of the two elevens was
held, Buy Tretinoin Cream 0.05 and the present rule that no
one at either University should
play for more than four years
from the commencement of resi-
dence was made. *^ It is quite
possible," says Mr. C. E. Green,
in his chapter of reminiscences,
"that R. D. would have been
playing to this day had not the
definite rule been passed as to
limiting the qualification."
So long as Harrow School
exists, so long must the name of
Isaac Donnithorne Walker be
treasured and honoured. Like
Robert Grimston and Fred Where Can I Buy Tretinoin Gel Pon-
sonby before him, he showed a
loyal devotion and love for Harrow
and Harrow cricket which made
the school on the hill the most
fortunate of all schools, for at no
other place, so far as we are
aware, have three such lives been Buy Tretinoin Gel
so generously devoted on the
cricket-ground and off it to the
service of younger generations at
their old school. For many years
I. D. Walker captained Middlesex
and the Gentlemen's team against
the Players, and was universally

[October
regarded as one of the great cap-
tains of the day, and when at the
age of forty he elected to retire
from the active pursuit of first-
class cricket, he was enabled to
devote himself to that which was
always so near his heart — the
cricket at Harrow. Always during
his long seasons of first-class
cricket he devoted any time he
could spare to running down to
the Harrow cricket-ground, and
from 1884, when he retired from
Middlesex cricket, down to the
week before his lamented death,
he spent all his summers up to
the second week of July in assist-
ing the Harrow boys in their
preparation for the match against
Eton. The pages of this book
contain many passages supplied
by old Harrovians, which speak
of the great good I. D. Walker
did for Harrow and Harrovians
in his kind, gentle and lovable
way.
As a boy at Harrow he showed
the greatest promise, but was
nearly always unfortunate, and it
was not until he had left school
that he attained the full measure
of success which was always pre-
dicted for him by those who
knew him. A magnificent Tretinoin Cream Buy batsman,
always scoring rapidly and dis-
daining to waste a moment's time,
he had some most beautiful
strokes, especially one of his very
own, which sent an ofT-ball sail-
ing over the head of point or
cover-point to the ropes. He was
a most safe and good field, gene-
rally at mid-off, and that at a
period when bowlers were hit to
mid-ofF with terrific violence. As
an underhand bowler, I. D.
Walker was one of the best, and
we think that in this respect he
never was rated high enough.
Year after year through the
"«».rrow Wanderers* tour he was
the most effective bowler against
some of the best batsmen in the
North of England.
Mr. Bettesworth has been for-
tunate in the assistance he has
been able to command in writing
his history of the Walkers. We
are pleased to note with becoming
modesty that the old files of
Baily's Magazine have been of
much seeming value; and the book
is well supplied with extracts from
our green covers, which are, if
we may say so, by no means the
most uninteresting part of the
work. Moreover, a large number
of friends and acquaintances have
tendered their reminiscences of
the Southgate brotherhood, and
much that is interesting and
amusing is to be found in the
chapters for which Messrs. C. E.
Green, C. I. Thornton, C. K.
Francis, A. J. Webbe, and Pro-
fessor Case are responsible, whilst
.the well-known umpire, Robert
Thomas, relates much that Buy Tretinoin Cream 0.1 is
interesting.
Mr. Bettesworth has divided
his book into three parts, the first
biographical, the second '^The
Walkers in the Field," and the
third statistics, a most elaborate
table of all the innings ever played
by the brothers that have been
chronicled, and their doings in all
their matches. The compilation
of this part of the book must have
entailed a vast amount of work
upon Mr. F. S. Ashley Cooper,
who is to be heartily compli-
mented upon the result of his
exhaustive researches.
There are portraits of the
brothers and illustrations of the
Harrow and Southgate cricket
grounds, and also some interest-
ing groups of cricketers, including
one of the eighteen veterans who
played against the Gentlemen of
M.C.C. in 1887.
